More lounge-y inside, which is lovely sexy and cool with warm vibes and twinkling chili lights, but to me, it just doesn't jibe with the outdoor area aesthetic-- does it want to be a lounge or a surf bar? I might be splitting hairs here, just an observation. In any case, taken on its own merits, the sleek interior space is very nice indeed, and service was excellent; the menu is compact, but looks promising, and there is a cool TV room in the back where you can literally watch DVD on an old set. Love it! The outdoor area (upfront, overlooking Capital Hwy) is a spacious grassy plot, with a good amount of chairs arranged on either side strategically placed near heaters, and is a great spot to spend summer afternoons - there's even a covered part. To me, it just feels like a completely different business which I guess is good if you can't decide what mood you're in. I'll be back to try the food, and will update then.

You need a reservation, and when you arrive, you're taken through a hidden door and upstairs into a much darker, intimate cocktail-bar setting. Depending on your reservation, you can sit at the bar or at a table. I've been a few times now, and I really like the atmosphere. It feels completely different from Loyal Legion downstairs and has that secluded speakeasy vibe I'm looking for. They also have a great cocktail selection. On my most recent visit, I tried the Rude Boy, which was a newer drink on the menu. It had great flavor and was really well presented with the garnish. I've tried other cocktails here on previous visits and have enjoyed those as well. Definitely a place I'll continue coming back to and would recommend to anyone who enjoys craft cocktails and speakeasy-style bars.

It's all the weird people, don't be afraid that's just how we are. We are all very close and a matter of a fact so close people ask me how long I have worked for genies... Answer is never, never have I officially worked here. But when your at your house with your family and your mom asks you to grab her a glass of water, you do it. Well same for me. I am closer with most the people here then I am with some of my own family. On that note let's talk about the staff that does work currently at genies. Owner- Rashid You will never find someone who cares for you as much as him.... As long as you don't piss him off your good! I have watched bless peoples lives. He has always tried to make genies better and better. Which is not needed cause it's already the best in Portland. He has made the entire inside look wonderful since he started owning it. Fresh paint, new chairs... all this year. Has planned special parties. If it's your birthday and you have a group he is always taking care of birthdays. I call him my brother, cause he is always there for me when I need him. And if your new I suggest you ask the staff who he is and get to know him cause he will always be happy to talk to you. Connor "simba" What to say about Connor.... Well first off you should probably just call him simba cause everyone else already does. He is the skinny white guy with long hair. And he is a PRO at making hookah. You like mint, always ask Connor to make it. He is a down to earth guy who I also consider to be an awesome friend. Also disclaimer, mouth like a sailor some days... Don't worry you get used to it Shawn Also has mastered the art if hookah making. Shawn is a hard working guy, he has lots of pet peeves. All of which I test in a daily basis. But seriously he is an awesome person. You like fruit mixes, Shawn is the guy to talk to. He knows some really good mixes. As for all the other people you see passing out coals and helping do stuff. Well we are customers who love to help make the lives of the 3 people above a little easier. This review is crazy long. But trust me. You don't want to miss out on genies. People drive hundreds of miles just to smoke at genies. That's not a joke, true story. It's that good. I suggest you stop reading this ridiculously long yelp review and get your ass to genie hookah. -RIAN

Which is great because yes that's plenty late!! We popped in around 6:30pm on 1/3/26. It still looked NYE festive and felt as chill as usual. My kids and I were dying for some nachos and to chill and play a couple of games!! We ordered at the bar and I got a She Spicy (basically a spicy margarita,) and vegan nachos no cheese (I don't need it, but it had salsa and black beans and I added Butternut squash. YUM. Yes please and thank you!!! My daughter got vegan nachos with vegan cheese and added jalapeno. My son got vegan nachos with just beans and vegan cheese. My son got RC cola and my daughter asked for an Italian Soda. The staff is SO caring and kind and I honestly feel like I'm at a friend's house except that I'm being served. We started working on the game and instructions and one of the lovely ladies came over and said that Italian Soda usually has milk in it (I never knew this!!) And she said she noticed we were vegan so would we like it without? I said yes please!! I thought that was SO considerate!! My son doesn't usually eat as well as his sister, and if she has ANY type of Mexican food she eats twice as much, if not more, than he will. So while I ordered her a full nacho, I ordered him a half order. He wanted more so on the second order the other lovely lady suggested salsa (which I encouraged and said yes to,) as they had run out of dairy free cheese. He tried the salsa but in typical fashion, pouted and said NO I didn't want it on all of the nachos. (insert mom sigh and heavy eye roll.) The sweet lady overheard us and said I can remake it if he would prefer that. And he said yes please. And then he said "wow they are so caring and nice here! That was so kind to offer that!" To which I said YES you're right!! By the end of our evening both kids were saying they loved Senet because the staff are SO kind and friendly. And they loved playing games and the food. 5 stars for a family fun night Senet!! We will be back!

If you only hit one craft cocktail bar on your visit to Portland, make it this one…read more Wax Social is a speakeasy and vinyl listening lounge tucked inside a Best Western in the West Hills.. and I mean that in the best way possible. Super moody lighting, hundreds of framed musician photos covering every wall, warm comfortable seating, and a custom hi-fi sound system that will rearrange your expectations for what a speakeasy bar and listening lounge can be. It's a hidden gem in the most literal sense: no signage on the outside and nothing to tip you off as you enter the building. To find Wax Social you walk through the hotel lobby at 9900 SW Canyon Rd, up a staircase left of the registration desk, and look around until you find a frosted glass door marked "Listening Lounge." Open it. You'll be glad you did. Start with the cocktails. The menu is split between elevated timeless classics and original house creations, and both sections of this cocktail menu can bang. The King of Pain is rum-forward and finished with an orange coconut foam that looks as good as it tastes. The Watermelon Man showcases Japanese gin and elderflower in a refreshing and complex profile that's hard not to love. The Sweetest Taboo is a mezcal drink built around blue maize, red bell pepper, pineapple, and lime that hits that rare combination of bold and perfectly balanced. Light My Fire brings blanco tequila and Ancho Reyes together with habanero bitters for real depth. If you want to wander off-menu, they can handle that flawlessly too. Over several visits I've enjoyed a Paper Plane, Tommy's Margarita, Gimlet, Last Word, Too Soon, and others, all executed perfectly. On one visit, the guy next to me at the bar was visiting Portland from Sweden and ordered a Flip. I've been to a lot of craft cocktail bars and never heard someone order one. Clayton, one of the bartenders, didn't blink. Went right to work making a luxurious Flip from memory that the customer couldn't stop raving about. I was impressed. Clayton is also working on several rum-forward cocktails coming to the menu later this summer - I love rum drinks enough to say that sitting at the bar talking shop and the concepts he's tinkering with is worth a visit on its own. Full mocktail lineup, plus wine, bubbles, and craft beers. Now about the sound system. DJs spin all-vinyl sets of funk, soul, R&B, and deep cuts across decades on a custom hi-fi setup that sounds absolutely incredible. Even when the DJ is in full flow and the music is turned up, you can still hold an easy conversation with a group of six or eight people. I've been there with a large group in the back corner on couches and comfortable chairs and everyone kept commenting on it. The music is present and powerful and somehow never swallows the laughter and conversation happening around you. They clearly built this bar around the music. The food is a genuine surprise for a craft cocktail lounge. Think small plates/tapas in terms of dining style: you come for the drinks and next thing you know you've ordered half the menu, made a dinner of it, and somehow backed into a beautiful evening of food, drink, and music. Must-orders: ahi poke nachos, deviled eggs, braised pork gnocchi. Don't overlook the shaved asparagus and white bean salad with sherry vinaigrette, Manchego, and crispy shallots. Simple and elegant and every bit as good as the more indulgent plates. Steak bites and shrimp are worth ordering too. Bring friends so you can order more and share. Owners Sean and Travis are present most nights, greeting you at the door and checking in at your table. That care shows in everything here, including a staff that knows how to read the room. A few things worth knowing: parking is easy, the location is simple to reach from Portland or Beaverton, and the bathrooms are spotless. Open late on weekends. Whether you're planning a romantic date night in Portland, a special occasion, a group night out, or just a solo evening at the bar with someone who really knows cocktails, this is your spot. Among the best craft cocktail and listening lounge experiences in the greater Portland metro area. You've gotta check it out.

High ceilings and lockers that require tall ladders for access. Each locker has rows that are a depth of three bottles. The tasting room is sophisticated and classy. Upscale decor with plush seating. No windows but there is a fireplace and they offer spirits for those who need a break from wine (is that a thing?). They have a server there five days per week (Tuesday to Saturday). If someone offers to take you to this club, you should enthusiastically agree. One of the most interesting places I have discovered in all of Portland in a very long time.

Perhaps some folks from wine country may have made to the Portland metro area. They provided a nice charcuterie platter. One of the cheeses was very soft and spreadable and another cheese that had a waxy appearance but was not a hard cheese. The spreadable cheese seemed to be a goat cheese with a very mild flavor, it was slightly earthy and sweet. I know, what a weird combination, but it was super good. Based on the other a cow's milk cheese and had a very mild and forgettable flavor. But it's probably for the best to serve safe flavored cheeses at such parties. The ambiance at the Boundary was really nice for a wine tasting/pickup party. There were overestuffed chairs next to a fire in the fireplace, and plenty of seating around the bar. There was always someone staffing the wine pouring stations. Hopefully other wineries will take note and hold its wine pickup parties close to downtown. The Boundary is the perfect venue. 2022 - Review # 24

This is a review of their breakfast only. I recently heard that anyone can come in and have…read morebreakfast here, not just hotel guests. In 2026 the breakfast is $15 a person at this AC hotel in Lake Oswego. I used to go to this hotel for Thanksgiving and other special events prior to the hotel ownership change about a year ago. I regret I hadn't tried this place earlier because it's a close breakfast option to home. I only wish it would go until noon on weekends because it's definitely a relaxed spot to linger on a slow Sunday morning. Breakfast ends at 11 am but I suggest going by 10 am so you can enjoy your breakfast without feeling rushed. The $15 includes a choice of an entree such as French toast and berries, pancakes, spinach egg toast, or pork and eggs. I stayed at an AC Hotel in Maui in 2023 and first learned about their breakfast plan. From the outside the buffet looks slim. Just a few pastries in a basket and a fancy prosciutto slicing machine. Many people opt to go for breakfast someplace else because they don't like the additional charge for breakfast that's not included with the hotel stay. However, many guests and visitors do not realize that the cost for breakfast includes the buffet, drinks, and a main entree choice. Breakfast selection is an entree, but also included is an extra breakfast buffet that includes gourmet cheeses, hard boiled eggs, Chobani yogurt, fruit, croissants, churros, pastries, scones, and prosciutto. They also included coffee, juice, Nespresso, and chia mango puree puddings. This was all included for $15. The price includes drinks. The amount of food you get is a fantastic value and definitely makes more sense to purchase than just grab and go coffee in the lobby for $6. Staff were pleasant and the food service was fast. Breakfast ends at 11 though and they were turning the lights off by 11:25 am. I am a slow eater so my only complaint was that I felt a bit rushed, but I think some of their shifts literally finished by 11 am. I really loved eating here. I'm going to be adding this place as a brunch spot with family and friends. It's better than a normal hotel breakfast and the food was really delicious.

The front desk clerk was okay. She did her job but was not too friendly. She gave us a room on the 5th floor with a balcony. The room was fine, until I discovered it had ants the next morning. I hate ants. Two vouchers were given to us for breakfast for the three of us. For our second stay, McKenzie check us in. McKenzie was great! She was friendly. She gave us a room with no balcony and no ants. The room was a larger than the week prior. Three breakfast vouchers were given to the three of us. The breakfast is served downstairs. They allow you to order one main dish and partake of their AYCE Euro breakfast buffet. The breakfast vouchers are for $10. The main dishes all cost $15. So you do have to pay the remainder plus tip. We paid an extra $19 for our first visit. During our second visit, we did not pay extra. I'm not going to ask. The gym is located on the second floor. Treadmills, ellipticals and bikes are available for cardio. Dumbbells are there for you to lift. One good stay. One not so good stay. Sounds like 3 stars to me.
